Science fiction has always challenged people to see their world in
new ways, from a glimpse at an imagined “long, long time ago in a galaxy far,
far away” in Star Wars to envisioning
a potential future centuries from now in Star
Trek. Movies like The Matrix,
Inception, Minority Report, Blade Runner, and so many others have proposed
mind-blowing ideas like alternate realities, parallel universes, transporter
beams, and time travel. One of the many reasons this genre is so popular is that
it poses a wide range of “what-if” questions and allows its audience to play
with possible answers. But these ideas can do more then just entertain you—they
can also inspire your work in L&D.

In this session, you’ll explore the ways sci-fi can help you
rethink how you create your content, and you’ll find out where L&D and
sci-fi have some fascinating points of crossover. Come learn how to create
truly engaging eLearning by applying the best ideas of sci-fi to your eLearning
designs, and have fun while doing it.

In this session,
you will learn:

New approaches to find the best “what-if” ideas and determine whether
they can help you reach your learners

How to engage learners with storylines that you can borrow from
the best sci-fi
